Oh yes :)
It now has an 'add new disk to raid5 array and rebuild parity whilst keeping your data' feature :)
It has to be done 'offline'.
I'm actually just installing it at the moment.

I have lvm2 on RAID5. With scratch disks you can do pvmoves to move extents off the RAID stripe onto a scratch disk. Then redo the raid stripe wider (more disks). Then move the extents back. If you're (clever) adding a disk and it's partitioned up a little you can use some of the partitions as "scratch" while bringing other partitions into the raid.
Does EVMS have something more elegant? That would be nice.
